CARDAS CCGR-S BINDING POSTS FOR MAGGIE 1,7i


I want to replace the original MAGNEPAN binding posts with the Cardas CCGR-S in my MAGGIE 1,7i.

Is there any modification needed? I do not want to intervene into original binding post plate. Does anyone have any experience with this?

Yes, I read a lot bad things of the Magnepan's fuse holders, but I think I am not skilled enough to do that. Did you make such a modification so far?

One only need move one wire, to bypass both the fuse holder and tweeter attenuator posts. They are in a series circuit. Find the wire that connects the two. Remove the wire, at the opposite end of the fuse holder from that, and connect it to the opposite end of the attenuator posts.                                                                                                                            ie: wire -------1(fuse block)2---wire----3(attenuator posts)4----wire (remove wire from connection 1 and move it to connection 4)
Like Rodman, says the fuse holder and other unnecessary parts are in series. The wires are not soldered onto the speaker cable terminals, they are soldered onto "O" rings that slip onto the back of the terminals. When you removed those terminals, just don't put the O rings onto the Cardas posts. No cutting of any wires is required. Very simple and easy, even I could do it!
